The  fourth  edition  of  "Familiar  Quotations'' 
was  published  in  1863.  The  present  edition 
embodies  the  results  of  the  later  researches  of 
its  editors,  besides  the  contributions  of  various 
friends,  and  includes  many  quotations  which 
have  long  been  waiting  a  favorable  verdict  on 
the  all-important  question  of  familiarity.  A  few 
changes  have  been  made  in  the  arrangement, 
and  the  citations  from  Shakespeare  have  been 
adapted  to  the  principal  modern  editions. 

The  former  edition  has  been  freshly  com- 
pared with  the  originals,  and  such  errors  re- 
moved  as  the  revision  has  disclosed.  The 
editorial  labors  have  been  shared  with  Rezin 
A.  Wight,  Esq.,  of  New  York,  who  has  been 
a  generous  contributor  to  the  former  editions. 

The  editor  takes  pleasure  in  acknowledging 
his  renewed  obligations  to    Prof.  Henry  W.

Haynes,  of  Burlington;  D.  W.  Wilder,  Esq., 
of  Leavenworth;  Justin  Winsor,  Esq.,  and 
James  J.  Storrow,  Esq.,  of  Boston,  and  to 
many  other  friends. 

Cambridge,  June,  1868. 


ADVERTISEMENT 
TO    THE    FOURTH    EDITION. 


The  favor  shown  to  former  editions  has  en> 
couraged  the  compiler  of  this  Collection  to  go 
on  with  the  work  and  make  it  more  worthy. 

It  is  not  easy  to  determine  in  all  cases  the 
degree  of  familiarity  that  may  belong  to  phrases 
and  sentences  which  present  themselves  for  ad- 
mission ;  for  what  is  familiar  to  one  class  of 
readers  may  be  quite  new  to  another. 

Many  maxims  of  the  most  famous  writers 
of  our  language,  and  numberless  curious  and 
happy  turns  from  orators  and  poets,  have 
knocked  at  the  door,  and  it  was  hard  to  deny 
them.  But  to  admit  these  simply  on  their  own 
merits,  without  assurance  that  the  general 
reader  would  readily  recognize  them  as  old 
friends,  was  aside  from  the  purpose  of  this 
Collection. 


viii  Advertisement. 

Still,  it  has  been  thought  better  to  incur  the 
risk  of  erring  on  the  side  of  fulness. 

Owing  to  the  great  number  of  Quotations 
added  in  this  edition,  it  has  been  necessary  to 
make  an  entire  reconstruction  of  the  book. 

It  is  hoped  the  lovers  of  this  agreeable  sub- 
sidiary literature  may  find  an  increased  useful- 
ness in  the  Collection  corresponding  with  its 
present  enlargement.

A  MIDSUMMER  NIGHT'S   DREAM.

Grows,  lives,  and  dies,  in  single  blessedness. 

Act  i.  Sc,  I, 

Brief  as  the  lightning  in  the  collied  night, 
That,  in  a  spleen,  unfolds  both  heaven  and  earth, 
And  ere  a  man  hath  power  to  say,  "  Behold! " 
The  jaws  of  darkness  do  devour  it  up. 

Act  i.  Sc,  I. 

For  aught  that  ever  I  could  read, 
Could  ever  hear  by  tale  or  history, 
The  course  of  true  love  never  did  run  smooth. 

Act  i.  Sc.  I. 

Love  looks  not  with  the  eyes,  but  with  the  mind, 
And  therefore  is  wing'd  Cupid  painted  blind.

It  blesseth  him  that  gives,  and  him  that  takes : 

'T  is  mightiest  in  the  mightiest :  it  becomes 

The  throned  monarch  better  than  his  crown  : 

His  sceptre  shows  the  force  of  temporal  power, 

The  attribute  to  awe  and  majesty, 

Wherein  doth  sit  the  dread  and  fear  of  kings ; 

But  mercy  is  above  this  sceptred  sway ; 

It  is  enthroned  in  the  hearts  of  kings. 

It  is  an  attribute  to  God  himself, 

And  earthly  pov;er  doth  then  show  likest  God's, 

When  mercy  seasons  justice.     Therefore,  Jew, 

Though  justice  be  thy  plea,  consider  this, — 

That  in  the  course  of  justice  none  of  us

With  spectacle  on  nose  and  pouch  on  side ;

TWELFTH    NIGHT. 

If  music  be  the  food  of  love,  play  on  ; 

Give  me  excess  of  it,  that,  surfeiting, 

The  appetite  may  sicken,  and  so  die. 

That  strain  again  ;  it  had  a  dying  fall  : 

O,  it  came  o'er  my  ear  like  the  sweet  south, 

That  breathes  upon  a  bank  of  violets, 

Stealing  and  giving  odour.  Act  i.  Sc.  i. 

I  am  sure  care 's  an  enemy  to  life.  Ad  i.  Sc.  3.

Every  wise  man's  son  doth  know. 

Act  ii.  Sc.  3. 

He  does  it  with  a  better  grace,  but  I  do  it 
more  natural.  Act  ii.  Sc.  3. 

Sir  To.    Dost  thou   think,   because   thou   art 
virtuous,  there  shall  be  no  more  cakes  and  ale  ? 

Clo.    Yes,  by  Saint  Anne ;  and  ginger  shall 
be  hot  i'  the  mouth  too.  Act  ii.  Sc.  3. 

Let  still  the  woman  take 
An  elder  than  herself :  so  wears  she  to  him, 
So  sways  she  level  in  her  husband's  heart, 
For,  boy,  however  we  do  praise  ourselves, 
Our  fancies  are  more  giddy  and  unfirm. 
More  longing,  wavering,  sooner  lost  and  won, 
Than  women's  are.  Act  ii.  Sc  4.

And  dallies  with  the  innocence  of  love, 
Like  the  old  age.  Act  ii.  Sc  4. 

She  never  told  her  love  ; 
But  let  concealment,  like  a  worm  i'  the  bud, 
Feed  on  her  damask  cheek :  she  pined  in  thought; 
And,  with  a  green  and  yellow  melancholy, 
She  sat,  like  Patience  on  a  monument, 
Smiling  at  grief.  Act  ii.  Sc  4. 

I  am  all  the  daughters  of  my  father's  house. 
And  all  the  brothers  too.  Act  ii.  Sc.  4.

see  more  detraction  at  your  heels  than  fortune

Some  are  born  great,  some  achieve  greatness, 
and  some  have  greatness  thrust  upon  them.

O,  what  a  deal  of  scorn  looks  beautiful 
In  the  contempt  and  anger  of  his  lip  ! 

Act  iii.  Sc.  I. 
Love  sought  is  good,  but  given  unsought  is  better.

Bloody  instructions,  which,  being  taught,  return

To  our  own  lips.  Act  i.  Sc  7. 

Besides,  this  Duncan 
Hath  borne  his  faculties  so  meek,  hath  been 
So  clear  in  his  great  office,  that  his  virtues 
Will  plead  like  angels,  trumpet-tongued,  against 
The  deep  damnation  of  his  taking-off ; 
And  pity,  like  a  naked  new-born  babe,

Beware 
Of  entrance  to  a  quarrel ;  but,  being  in, 
Bear  't  that  the  opposed  may  beware  of  thee. 
Give  every  man  thine  ear,  but  few  thy  voice ; 
Take  each  man's  censure,  but  reserve  thy  judg- 
ment.

But  not  express'd  in  fancy ;  rich,  not  gaudy : 
For  the  apparel  oft  proclaims  the  man. 

Act  i.  Sc.  3. 

Neither  a  borrower  nor  a  lender  be. 
For  loan  oft  loses  both  itself  and  friend ;

Why  thy  canoniz'd  bones  hearsed  in  death.

Hath  oped  his  ponderous  and  marble  jaws, 
To  cast  thee  up  again  ?     What  may  this  mean. 
That  thou,  dead  corse,  again,  in  complete  steel 
Revisit'st  thus  the  glimpses  of  the  moon. 
Making  night  hideous  ;  and  we  fools  of  nature, 
So  horridly  to  shake  our  disposition 
With  thoughts  beyond  the  reaches  of  our  souls  ?

Would  harrow  up  thy  soul,  freeze  thy  young  blood, 
Make  thy  two  eyes,  like  stars,  start  from  their

Thy  knotted  and  combined  locks  to  part, 
And  each  particular  hair  to  stand  on  end, 
Like  quills  upon  the  fretful  porcupine  :

Or  to  take  arms  against  a  sea  of  troubles, 
And  by  opposing  end  them  ?   To  die  :  to  sleep,  — 
No  more  :  and,  by  a  sleep,  to  say  we  end 
The  heartache,  and  the  thousand  natural  shocks

For  in  that  sleep  of  death  what  dreams  may  come, 
When  we  have  shuffled  off  this  mortal  coil, 
Must  give  us  pause.     There  's  the  respect

For  who  would  bear  the  whips  and  scorns  of  time, 
The  oppressor's  wrong,   the  proud  man's  con- 
tumely, 
The  pangs  of  despis'd  love,  the  law's  delay, 
The  insolence  of  office,  and  the  spurns 
That  patient  merit  of  the  unworthy  takes, 
When  he  himself  might  his  quietus  make 
With  a  bare  bodkin  ?     Who  would  fardels^  bear, 
To  grunt  and  sweat  under  a  weary  life. 
But  that  the  dread  of  something  after  death,  — 
The  undiscovered  country,  from  whose  bourn 
No  traveller  returns,  —  puzzles  the  will. 
And  makes  us  rather  bear  those  ills  we  have, 
Than  fly  to  others  that  we  know  not  of  ? 
Thus  conscience  does  make  cowards  of  us  all ; 
And  thus  the  native  hue  of  resolution 
Is  sicklied  o'er  with  the  pale  cast  of  thought ; 
And  enterprises  of  great  pith  and  moment. 
With  this  regard  their  currents  turn  awry. 
And  lose  the  name  of  action.  Act  iii.  Sc.  i.

That  I  have  ta'en  away  this  old  man's  daughter, 
It  is  most  true  ;  true,  I  have  married  her  : 
The  very  head  and  front  of  my  offending 
Hath  this  extent,  no  more.     Rude  am  I  in  my 

speech. 
And  litde  bless'd  with  the  soft  phrase  of  peace  ; 
For  since  these  arms  of  mine  had  seven  years' pith. 
Till  now  some  nine  moons  wasted,  they  have  us'd 
Their  dearest  action  in  the  tented  field ; 
And  little  of  this  great  world  can  I  speak, 
More  than  pertains  to  feats  of  broil  and  battle  ; 
And,  therefore,  little  shall  I  grace  my  cause 
In  speaking  for  myself.     Yet,  by  your  gracious

Of  my  whole  course  of  love.  Act  i.  Sc  3.

Her  father  lov'd  me  ;  oft  invited  me  ; 

Still  question'd  me  the  story  of  my  life, 

From  year  to  year,  the  battles,  sieges,  fortunes, 

That  I  have  pass'd. 

I  ran  it  through,  even  from  my  boyish  days, 

To  the  very  moment  that  he  bade  me  tell  it : 

Wherein  I  spake  of  most  disastrous  chances, 

Of  moving  accidents  by  flood  and  field  ; 

Of  hair-breadth  'scapes  i'  the  imminent  deadly 

breach ; 
Of  being  taken  by  the  insolent  foe, 
And  sold  to  slavery ;  of  my  redemption  thence. 
And  portance  in  my  travel's  history  : 
AVherein  of  antres  vast,  and  deserts  idle, 
Rough  quarries,  rocks  and  hills  whose  heads 

touch  heaven. 
It  was  my  hint  to  speak,  —  such  was  the  process.

She  gave  me  for  my  pains  a  world  of  sighs  : 
She  swore,  —  in  faith,  't  was  strange,  't  was  pass-

She  wish'd  she  had  not  heard  it ;  yet  she  wish'd 
That  Heaven  had  made  her  such  a  man  :  she 

thank'd  me ; 
And  bade  me,  if  I  had  a  friend  that  loved  her, 
I  should  but  teach  him  how  to  tell  my  story, 
And  that  would  woo  her.    Upon  this  hint  I  spal^ ; 
She  loved  me  for  the  dangers  I  had  passed, 
And  I  loved  her  that  she  did  pity  them.

Good  name,  in  man  and  woman,  dear  my  lord, 
Is  the  immediate  jewel  of  their  souls. 
Who  steals  my  purse,  steals  trash ;  't  is  some- 
thing, nothing  ; 
'T  was  mine,  't  is  his,  and  has  been  slave  to  thou-

But  he  that  filches  from  me  my  good  name, 
Robs  me  of  that  which  not  enriches  him, 
And  makes  me  poor  indeed.  Act  iii,  Sc.  3.

of  election,  when  you,  having  a  large  and  fruit-

For  as  old  age  is  that  period  of  life  most  remote  from 
infancy,  who  does  not  see  that  old  age  in  this  universal

I  am,  Sir,  a  Brother  of  the  Angle.

Old-fashioned  poetry,  but  choicely  good. 

Part  i.  Ch.  4. 

We  may  say  of  angling  as  Dr.  Boteler  ^  said  of 
strawberries  :  "  Doubtless  God  could  have  made 
a  better  berry,  but  doubtless  God  never  did  "  : 
and  so,  if  I  might  be  judge,  God  never  did  make 
a  more  calm,  quiet,  innocent  recreation  than 
angling.  Part  i.  Ch.  5. 

Thus  use  your  frog :  put  your  hook,  I  mean 
the  arming  wire,  through  his  mouth,  and  out  at 
his  gills,  and  then  with  a  line  needle  and  silk  sew 
the  upper  part  of  his  leg  with  only  one  stitch  to 
the  arming  wire  of  your  hook,  or  tie  the  frog's  leg 
above  the  upper  joint  to  the  armed  wire  ;  and  in 
so  doing  use  him  as  though  you  loved  him.

When  I  consider  life,  't  is  all  a  cheat. 

Yet,  fooled  with  hope,  men  favour  the  deceit ; 

Trust  on,  and  think  to-morrow  will  repay : 

To-morrow  's  falser  than  the  former  day ; 

Lies  worse  ;  and,  while  it  says  we  shall  be  blest 

With  some  new  joys,  cuts  off  what  we  possest. 

Strange  cozenage  !  none  would  live  past  years 

again. 
Yet  all  hope  pleasure  in  what  yet  remain  ;

THOMAS   GRAY.     1716-1771. 

Ye  distant  spires,  ye  antique  towers. 

On  a  Distant  Prospect  of  Eton  College.    Stanza  I. 

Ah,  happy  hills  !  ah,  pleasing  shade  ! 

Ah,  fields  belov'd  in  vain ! 
Where  once  my  careless  childhood  stray'd, 

A  stranger  yet  to  pain  ! 
I  feel  the  gales  that  from  ye  blow 

A  momentary  bliss  bestow.  Stanza  2. 

They  hear  a  voice  in  every  wind, 

And  snatch  a  fearful  joy.  Stanza  4.

The  tear  forgot  as  soon  as  shed, 

The  sunshine  of  the  breast.  Stanza  5. 

Alas  !  regardless  of  their  doom, 

The  little  victims  play  ; 
No  sense  they  have  of  ills  to  come, 

Nor  care  beyond  to-day. 

Ah,  tell  them  they  are  men  !  Stajiza  6.

Gray.  329 

Yet,  ah  !  why  should  they  know  their  fate, 
Since  sorrow  never  comes  too  late. 

And  happiness  too  swifdy  flies  ? 

Thought  would  destroy  their  paradise.

T  is  folly  to  be  wise.^  stanza  la

Full  well  the  busy  whisper,  circling  round.

ought,"  says  this  great  political  Doctor,  "  to  con-

It  is  now  sixteen  or  seventeen  years  since  I 
saw  the  Queen  of  France,  then  the  Dauphiness, 
at  Versailles ;  and  surely  never  lighted  on  this 
orb,  which  she  hardly  seemed  to  touch,  a  more 
delightful  vision.  I  saw  her  just  above  the  hori- 
zon, decorating  and  cheering  the  elevated  sphere 
she  just  began  to  move  in,  —  glittering  like  the 
morning-star,  full  of  life,  and  splendour,  and  joy. 
....  Little  did  I  dream  that  I  should  have  lived 
to  see  such  disasters  fallen  upon  her  in  a  nation  of 
gallant  men,  in  a  nation  of  men  of  honour  and  of 
cavaliers.  I  thought  ten  thousand  swords  must 
have  leaped  from  their  scabbards  to  avenge  even 
a  look  that  threatened  her  with  insult.  But  the 
age  of  chivalry  is  gone.  That  of  sophisters,

And  proves,  by  thumping  on  your  back,* 

His  sense  of  your  great  merit,^

Be  very  much  his  friend  indeed 

To  pardon,  or  to  bear  it.    On  Friendship.

another,  and  to  assume  among  the  powers  of  the

the  laws  of  nature  and  of  nature's  God  entitle 
them,  a  decent  respect  to  the  opinions  of  man-

which  impel  them  to  the  separation.

She  dwelt  among  the  untrodden  ways 

Beside  the  springs  of  Dove, 
A  maid  whom  there  were  none  to  praise 

And  very  few  to  love. 

She  dwelt  among  the  untrodden  ways,

Half  hidden  from  the  eye  ! 
Fair  as  a  star,  when  only  one 

Is  shining  in  the  sky.  ibid. 

She  lived  unknown,  and  few  could  know

How  beautiful  is  night ! 
A  dewy  freshness  fills  the  silent  air ; 
No  mist  obscures,  nor  cloud,  nor  speck,  nor  stain, 
Breaks  the  serene  of  heaven  : 
In  full-orbed  glory,  yonder  moon  divine 
Rolls  through  the  dark-blue  depths.

never  sets  in  the  Spanish  dominions,  but  ever  shineth  on 
one  part  or  other  we  have  conquered  for  our  king?  —

I  am  called 
The  richest  monarch  in  the  Christian  world ; 
The  sun  in  my  dominions  never  sets,

Die  Sonne  geht  in  meinem  Staat  nicht  unter.

Napoleon's  troops  fought  in  bright  fields, 
where  every  helmet  caught  some  beams  of  glory,

Farewell !  if  ever  fondest  prayer

Mine  will  not  all  be  lost  in  air, 
But  waft  thy  name  beyond  the  sky.

All  love  is  sweet, 
Given  or  returned.     Common  as  light  is  love, 
And  its  familiar  voice  wearies  not  ever.

As  I  am  now  ;  but  those  who  feel  it  most 
Are  happier  still.^

from  New  Zealand  shall,  in  the  midst  of  a  vast

I  have  always  believed  that  success  would  be

the  right  man  to  fill  the  right  place.

Come  to  the  bridal  chamber,  Death  ! 

Come*  to  the  mother's,  when  she  feejs, 
For  the  first  time,  her  first-born's  breath ; 

Come  when  the  blessed  seals 
That  close  the  pestilence  are  broke, 
And  crowded  cities  wail  its  stroke  ; 
Come  in  consumption's  ghastly  form. 
The  earthquake  shock,  the  ocean  storm ; 
Come  when  the  heart  beats  high  and  warm, 

With  banquet  song,  and  dance,  and  wine ; 
And  thou  art  terrible,  —  the  tear. 
The  groan,  the  knell,  the  pall,  the  bier, 
And  all  we  know,  or  dream,  or  fear 

Of  agony  are  thine.  Ibid, 

But  to  the  hero,  when  his  sword 
Has  won  the  battle  for  the  free,

The  thanks  of  millions  yet  to  be.        ibid.

Still,  like  muffled  drums,  are  beating 

Funeral  marches  to  the  grave.  jbid.

O  suffering,  sad  humanity !

There  is  no  flock,  however  watched  and  tended,

There  is  no  fireside,  howsoe'er  defended.

The  air  is  full  of  farewells  to  the  dying, 

And  mournings  for  the  dead.  Ibid. 

There  is  no  Death  !    What  seems  so  is  transition  \

giving  one  a  "  Rowland  for  his  Oliver,"  to  signify 
the  matching  one  incredible  lie  with  another.

of  this  sublime  laconism  :  "  Madame,  tout  est  perdu

The  true  expression  is,  "  Madame,  pour  vous  faire

HobsorCs  choice, 

Tobias  Hobson  was  the  first  man  in  England 
that  let  out  hackney  horses.  When  a  man  came 
for  a  horse,  he  was  led  into  the  stable,  where  there 
was  a  great  choice,  but  he  obliged  him  to  take  the 
horse  which  stood  next  to  the  stable  door ;  so  that 
every  customer  was  alike  well  served  according  to 
his  chance,  from  whence  it  became  a  proverb,  when 
what  ought  to  be  your  election  was  forced  upon  you,

Voltaire,  Dialogue  xiv.  Le  Chapon  et  la  Poularde, 

When  Harel  wished  to  put  a  joke  or  witticism 
into  circulation,  he  was  in  the  habit  of  connecting  it 
with  some  celebrated  name,  on  the  chance  of  re- 
claiming it  if  it  took.  Thus  he  assigned  to  Talley-

And  give  the  world  the  lie.     The  Lie.
